Ray Nicholson

Ray Nicholson is the son of Jack Nicholson and Rebecca Broussard. Many say that he looks just like his father, who’s best known for starring in the horror film The Shining in 1980. Ray has inherited the remarkable Joker grin that creeped-out viewers of that old Tim Burton movie.

Although he was born into a family where both his parents are well-known actors in Hollywood, not once — or so we are told — did he use his status to cut the line and win acting roles. Instead, Ray worked his way up until he was able to build a name of his own in the industry. He started his career from backstage as a production assistant on films, becoming an assistant director later on. At the young age of 28, he already has two assistant directing credits and 15 acting credits.
